<h5 id="id00953">THE GLOWWORM AND THE JAC KDAW</h5>
<p id="id00954">By Ramaswami Raju</p>
<p id="id00955">JACKDAW once ran up to a Glowworm and was about to seize him. "Wait a
moment, good friend," said the Worm, "and you shall hear something to
your advantage."</p>
<p id="id00956">"Ah! what is it?" said the Daw.</p>
<p id="id00957">"I am but one of the many glowworms that live in this forest. If you
wish to have them all, follow me," said the Glowworm.</p>
<p id="id00958">"Certainly!" said the Daw.</p>
<p id="id00959">Then the Glowworm led him to a place in the wood where a fire had been
kindled by some woodmen, and pointing to the sparks flying about, said,
"There you find the glowworms warming themselves round a fire. When
you have done with them I shall show you some more, at a distance from
this place."</p>
<p id="id00960">The Daw darted at the sparks and tried to swallow some of them, but his
mouth being burned by the attempt, he ran away exclaiming, "Ah, the
Glowworm is a dangerous little creature!"</p>
